It is _part_ of their activity, not the full scope.

If you see that as their primary job, I suggest you write up a reasonable
proposal of how to cover your needs and present it at the next RIPE meeting.
If the community deems it acceptable, that should work out.

Stop ranting _please_.

I could understand if you were ranting about something which was forced on you
by a narrow vote, but you didn't even try, and it _has_ been announced
beforehand, with apt time to raise your voice in time. I suggest you prepare
better for 2003...
